My first round interview process was an initial screening focused on understanding my background, experience, and overall fit for the role. It was mainly conversational and conducted by the hiring manager.

This was my first interview after a 150 applications this year. Was pretty excited. Was surprised because Walmart had several rounds of layoffs this year and they were prioritizing internal hires. And Walmart recruiters are notorious for lack of response or entitlement. But this recruiter was not. She seemed fair from the get go. Phone Screening by recruiter followed by Hiring Manager and 30 minute interview over zoom. Hiring manager was awesome, wish I could work with her and her team. Phone screen was simple. Basic questions to determine how professional you sound and whether you meet basic criteria for the role. The phone screening invite though came from something like a scam email Cora from paradox.ai.. apparently it's a scheduling software that recruiters use.
